Playboy, Buscemi partner for a footwear collection

Luxury footwear and accessories brand Buscemi has partnered with the Playboy for a footwear collection. The collection has been launched in celebration of Playboy’s 65th anniversary.

“Since 1953, Playboy has been a tastemaker, an arbiter of style and a vanguard for political, sexual and economic freedom,” said Jon Buscemi, founder and designer, Buscemi.

According to a report in License Global, the footwear collection includes the 100MM Playboy shoe, available in white, black and pink, which prominently displays the iconic Playboy bunny on the side. The collection also includes 40MM Playboy slide-on sneaker and the Playboy Slides, which is available in white, black and pink.

“The Playboy lifestyle was a true inspiration for many of us growing up in the ‘70s/ ‘80s New York City. The hip-hop culture that I hold so dear and near adopted the rabbit head design as an international icon of success. An icon that expressed taste and class,” said Buscemi.
